Although highly regarded as a writer of fiction, nonfiction, and
drama, N. Scott Momaday considers himself primarily a poet. This
first book of his poems to be published in over a decade, Again the
Far Morning comprises a varied selection of new work along with the
best from his four earlier books of poems: Angle of Geese (1974),
The Gourd Dancer (1976), In the Presence of the Sun (1992), and In
the Bear's House (1999). To read Momaday's poems from the last
forty years is to understand that his focus on Kiowa traditions and
other American Indian myths is further evidence of his spectacular
formal accomplishments. His early syllabic verse, his sonnets, and
his mastery of iambic pentameter are echoed in more recent work,
and prose poetry has been part of his oeuvre from the beginning.
The new work includes the elegies and meditations on mortality that
we expect from a writer whose career has been as long as Momaday's,
but it also includes light verse and sprightly translations of
Kiowa songs.
